I heard about that. How far did y'all get with the other thing?

Changed the valve stem on two wheels on my 80.

Broke the bead with a hilift, cleaned the hole and sealing surfaces with Scotch -Brite and Emery cloth.

I used just a touch of rubber cement to make sure I get a long term seal.

Then I sucked out 1/2 gallon of coolant so I could add back pure coolant because the mix was too low and I'm getting ready for a trip to Nebraska again and we're heading into winter. It was only good to +20°F. I'll run it for a bit and test it again.

It’s awesome when your friend that doesn’t work on cars tells you he has something in the garage for working on engines.

He said to me let me bring it over.

Finished my tuffy console divider. Made it out of a/c plywood and spray painted to match the oak (color is rustoleum metallic bronze or something, search here and you’ll find)
I went with an oil based urethane just for a smoother touch.
Used drawer liner on bottoms.
1st trayis 6”.
2nd sliding tray 3 1/2”
Used a motion detecting night ligh from Home Depot. It’s perfect.
Really helps tidy this thing up. Before it was a 12” bottomless pit!

LOL I keep a google spreadsheet with a list of s*** I need to fix. I update from my phone as I find s*** so I can address it later.

The list grows faster than I'm fixing stuff.. :\

True that I have a laundry list.

Traveling to germany in this week, will sor this out when i get back .

 

[Vulkyn]

and you just noticed this????? from the looks of this you should probably check every single thing on your rig....or more accurately....have someone do it for you.

You are more than welcome to follow what I am doing on my thread, I am sure you have a lot of valuable input to add.

Washed her. She looks so beautiful on a clear day.

Discontinued. Your only shot is used out of a 91-94 with a sable interior.

Thank you!

The key goes between the cruise control sensor and the transfer case. The speedo cable attaches to the other end of the cruise sensor.

Hi Dan, I’m no mechanic so forgive me. A little confused and need a more layman’s explanation.

It’s a blessing when you have good friends!
My Cruiser buddy let me borrow the velvet hammer while I’m getting the new OE SB in.
It sure motivates me to get back in my old truck. I feel like a drug dealer.
It is fun to hoon the ricers though.
A couple cool cars at my buddy's shop.
It's also a blessing to be making such wondeful friends later in life!

Took the rig out to stretch her legs. Had a great time wheeling with my son and practicing our spotting skills.

Cleaning up underneath of 91 LC to get ready to sell and found mine has Old Man Emu Shocks. What a welcome surprise!

I’m confused. Don’t I already have this part?
